Over the summer, Texas–based artist Justin Ginsberg created a glass sculptural work inspired in part by the Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass exhibition. At a glass kiln on the Museum’s lawn, Ginsberg pulled glass threads then installed the threads in the Carter’s Main Gallery, resulting in a large-scale glass “waterfall” sculpture.
